“The iAwards helped us secure an export order for our Electrical Load Analysis Software and to raise our profile in the local and international market place. When we entered the iAwards, we were negotiating a sale with a major US aerospace company. We invested a lot of money in our marketing and sales but the iAwards contributed to the credibility of the product and helped secure the sale. This award also raised awareness of the local market and as a result of that we are currently negotiating a deal to use the same software for complex military ground vehicles. The sponsor of our award was Microsoft and they generously flew Codarra to the US and offered us an excellent package of support and software to support us into the future.”

“Winning the 2005 iAward for the most innovative financial application in Australia has led to an increase in market exposure for Shine Technologies and has further enabled us to prove our passion for excellence and our market position as the best Java development house in Australia.

“To have won an iAward in 2005 was a great achievement. It gave us some excellent exposure in Asia-Pacific and, in doing so, helped to show that we have a product with global reach. We have now been recognised with awards around the globe, which, when mentioned in addition to our iAward win, has meant that people in our local market have taken notice of what we have to offer.”

“Being involved in the iAwards process introduced us to a wide variety of organisations at different stages of their own development. We’ve been able to learn from their experiences and share in our collective successes and challenges. The feedback, support and encouragement from those associated with AIIA and the iAwards has been a fantastic reinforcement that we are on our way to being successful. To have won an iAward was a great honour and somewhat humbling given the quality of innovation and talent under review. It really is of enormous benefit to be involved in the AIIA network and we will continue to be part of the various programs and initiatives on offer.”
- Saul Midler, Managing Director, SecureWrap – winner of the 2005 Security iAward
“Since being honoured by the AIIA as an 'inspirational' Australian technology company in 2004, we've grown our customer base significantly, secured capital investment to the value of A$18m, and strengthened our partnership with Microsoft, Siemens and IBM. The honour and added credibility of winning an iAward has supported all of these exciting developments for ManageSoft.”
- Marco de Jonge, General Manager Asia-Pacific, ManageSoft – winner of the 2004 Inspiration iAward for the 'best of the best'
“While we often win community and charity awards, our iAward was recognition and validation that the Smith Family manages its ICT operations as well as companies in any other sector.”
